4 Tips For Renting a Dumpster

  • 1

    Loading Your Dumpster

    When loading your container, please ensure that trash and debris fit within the container and are not sticking out. If your trash is unable to fit in the dumpster and the driver is unable to remove it, a dry run fee will be applicable. If you foresee needing an additional pick up, please give us a call.

  • 2

    Disposing of Bulky Items

    If you have bulky items to dispose of such as home furniture, office furniture, and/or exercise equipment, please contact us to schedule disposal of these items. These items are typically taller than the container and stick out over the top, therefore needing a special container and/or separate scheduling for the removal of these items.

  • 3

    Dumpster Safety

    Your waste company’s priority is the safety of all. To that end, we offer the following service area tips:

    - Maintain clear and safe access to your container

    - Place your container in an open and/or well-lit area

    - Ensure that the overhead clearance is a minimum of 14 feet in height.

  • 4

    Avoiding Additional Dumpster Rental Fees

    In order to prevent dry-run fees, please ensure we have clear access to your container. Vehicles should not be parked in front of or alongside your container. If you are located in areas that have snow, please make sure the area is clear on your scheduled pick-up day. Also, if your container is inside an enclosure, please make sure the gates are unlocked.

Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve compiled a list of our most frequently asked questions for dumpster rentals. If you have specific questions pertaining to your local regulations and fees, you might find our local information section helpful.

Renting a dumpster is a relatively simple process. ZTERS determines the best dumpster type for your project based on the amount and type of waste, rental duration, & delivery address. We give you an exact quote and setup a window to have the dumpster delivered to the jobsite. You fill up the dumpster, we come pick it up and take it to the nearest waste facility.

The size of a dumpster you need is not only going to be determined by the amount of waste you are disposing, but also what type of waste it is. Dirt and rock, for example, weigh significantly more than other construction debris or household trash, and therefore you will need a smaller container so the truck can handle the weight of the haul. Here are some typical dumpster sizes with example debris types:

Dumpster Size Tons Included Debris Types
10 Yard 2 Flooring, piping, concrete, heavy debris
20 Yard 3 Lower-end commercial construction
30 Yard 3 Landscaping, renovation waste
40 Yard 4 Large scale construction

View the scaled illustration of these dumpster sizes below.

You are not permitted to fill the dumpster with materials that exceed the top of the container. Additionally, common materials that aren’t allowed in dumpsters include (but are not limited) to:

  • Hazardous Waste
  • Concrete
  • Dirt
  • Barrels
  • All Liquids
  • Antifreeze
  • Dead Animals
  • Asbestos
  • Medical Waste
  • Railroad Ties
  • Industrial Waste
  • Paint (except For Dried Latex Paint Cans With No Lids)
  • Flammable Liquids
  • Solvents
  • Radioactive Material
  • Pesticides And Herbicides
  • Chemical Products
  • Fluorescent Tubes
  • Microwaves
  • Aerosol Cans
  • Propane Tanks
  • Oil (transmission Lubricating, Motor, Hydraulic Or Contaminated Oils Mixed With Solvents Such As Gasoline Etc.)
  • Oil Filters
  • Antifreeze
  • Appliances
  • Petroleum Contaminated Soil
  • Lead Paint Chips
  • Televisions
  • Monitors
  • Computers
  • Batteries
  • Tires

Whether or not you can put a dumpster on the street depends on the area and the laws of your local municipalities. Check with your local municipality to find out whether a license is required in your area. For example, you must obtain a Street Use permit before your dumpster is delivered and placed on a street in Seattle, Washington. This only pertains to residential use, however. When placing dumpsters in the public right-of-way for commercial purposes, you will need a Commercial Use permit instead. For more information, check out the rules and regulations for your city or county.

In most cases, a dumpster can be delivered as soon as the next day if it is ordered before noon in the applicable time zone, Monday through Friday. A rush fee may be applicable for all next day orders called in after 12:00 p.m. noon and/or for Saturday deliveries. If a dumpster is needed any sooner, call us at 888-251-2660 and we will do our best to have the container delivered when you need it. However, please be aware that delivery times are not guaranteed. If a dumpster is required in the morning, we strongly recommend scheduling the delivery for the day before you plan to use it.

A good rule for determining the room you need for a dumpster placement is to take the length and height of the dumpster size and double it. That way, you’ll have plenty of space for the container as well as the truck to load and unload with ease. For example, a 10 yard dumpster measures 13 feet long by 3.5 feet high. So ensure that your delivery area measures at least 26 feet long with a minimum overhead clearance of 7 feet. Also ensure there is enough road clearance leading up to the worksite for the delivery truck to access.

Additional costs are applied for any amount of weight over what is included in the initial price for the dumpster. Exceeding the weight limit could potentially cause damage to the container or make it harder and more dangerous to transport. If the weight limit is significantly exceeded, your delivery will have to be split into two or more trips so that the risk is mitigated.
